Next up in our #SIMSseries for Ms. Codex 1566, the 14th century book of hours from Metz, France: a brief look inside, at the calendar, and then a miniature of the Virgin and Child, nursing - typical of use of Metz - at the opening of Matins. #medieval #manuscript #parchment #illumination #nursing #breastfeeding #calendar #bookhistory #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram
Modesty is a virtue.
Our next #SIMSseries is for Ms. Codex 1566, a book of hours, use of Metz, written in Metz, France, between 1375 and 1399. It's very small, bound in modern red velvet over pasteboards with metal clasp, decorated with small illuminated initials. #medieval #manuscript #illuminated #bookofhours #miniature #france #french #14thc #parchment #bookhistory #rarebook #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram
Our last entry for the #SIMSseries on LJS 26, a 13th c. astrological and mathematical manuscript, a closer look at a text page with marginal notes, and a front and back view of a #parchment repair through the middle of two diagrams. #medieval #manuscript #astronomy #science #historyofscience #mathematics #parchment #bookhistory #rarebook #rarebooks #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram
Today's #FragmentFriday is Ms. Coll 591, folder 48, a leaf from a printed book of hours with illuminations added by hand. Printed in France, probably Paris, in the last decade of the 15th century. Text is from the Penitential Psalms. #medieval #manuscript #printed #15thc #illumination #psalms #bookofhours #fragment #leaf #paper #bookhistory #bookstagram #rarebook #rarebooks #librariesofinstagram
